I was 22 when I had my first baby, coincidently same age as my Dad and paternal Grandmother… [name_f]My[/name_f] mother was 20.

22

I was older than my parents. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother was 18 and my dad was 21 when I was born. I was 27 when I had my first.

23

Currently ttc my first, which will make me older than my mom was (she had her first child at 20). Depending on if/when I get my bfp depends on if I’m older or the same age as my dad was (he had his first at 28, I’m currently 27).

24

Almost a decade older. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom was 18 and I was 27.

25

Older than my parents and my in-laws.

[name_f]My[/name_f] parents were both 32 when I was born, I was the 2nd. In-laws were 29 and 32 when my husband was born, he was #3. I was 34 when my first was born, he was 36 (and 29 when my stepson was born)

26

I dont have kids, but my mom had her first child at 19, so I plan to be older lol

Older - my mum had me at 28, I’m 31 with bub due in [name_f]May[/name_f].

I was considerably younger haha. I was 20 when I had my first, and my mom was 25 when my mom had my oldest sister.

Older, my mom was a teen mom, and I had my first at 27. Breaking the cycle of accidental teen pregnancy that ran in my family

Younger! [name_f]My[/name_f] mom was 27 when she had me, 30 when she had my brother, and 32 when she had one more. I was 24 when I had my first, 26 when I had my second, and I’ll be 28 when my third is born later this year.

I’ve replied to this thread before, but now that I’m nearing the halfway mark of my pregnancy I figured I’d stop in again…

I’ll be older than both my parents. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom was 19 when she conceived my oldest sister & 20 when she gave birth. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad was 24 when his first was conceived and 25 when she was born.

I had just turned 28 when I conceived this pregnancy, and I’ll be a few months shy of 29 when I give birth to this baby in [name_f]December[/name_f]!

Younger! [name_f]My[/name_f] mother was 33 when she had me, and I was 23 when I had my first daughter!

35

We’ll be almost exactly the same age as my parents, 29 and 30. DH will be way oder than his (22 and 24) though.

Technically both my husband and I were both parents before our parents had us. I’m the oldest of 3 and my mom had me at 26 and my dad was 30. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband was the youngest of 8, his mom had him at 33. Her last of 8 and she was only 33. Crazyyyy. I believe she was 19 or barely 20 when she had her first.

Sorry, bit of a tangent there. Anyway, I was 24 when I had my firstborn, although not first pregnancy. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband was 30 when our baby was born.
